Just some thoughts:
* The MRU | bar | all the rest is ok,
* A configurable amount of MRU list would be nice.
Just as a side note, it always annoys me, the MRU lists of
last recently files in some applications are ficed to e.g. 3, 5 or
maybe 10.
e.g. I have so many PDF files to read, that I usually change
Acrobat Reader to show 10..20 in the MRU to have them faster.
* Maybe have some input field like the quick access or the MRU
editors list to enter the name and it searches and narrows the
list with each letter/digit entered.

I think it would be a nice improvement.
The current behavior is frustrating at times.
Thanks!
So what is conclusion here? I have not
read this thread before but launchbar now actually keeps
launch descriptor sorted by last usage internally (but it
still sorts them alphabetically for ui)
I can do [3 top used | bar | Rest in
alpgabetic order] and we can play with it?

I look at it
differently. Wherever there is some kind
of prime real estate, for example the
tab bar space, different users may want
to prioritize things to appear in it
differently. This is a product of human
individuality, not a drawback of a UI
design. One size simply doesn't fit all.

That's
the bug I was referring too when
I mentioned polarizing UI that
needs a preference. The trick
there, though, would be to
provide a better way of handling
the situation when you have more
editors open than you have space
in the tab bar. But that has to
be good or you'll make everyone
angry...

And, it's not
about me and my
"preferences"
(sorry :) ). Just
don't create a
preference unless
you actually
expect users to go
find it. We often
(almost always)
use preferences as
a crutch when we
can't decide
what's best for
our users. Decide
how you want them
to work and what
you want them to
see. If it the UI
is really
polarizing, then
use a preference
to appease angry
users. Mind you,
the trick is to
have no angry
users.

The first
reaction is:
"we need a
preference".
But I know
you don't like
those, and I
agree.
Let's try to
be nicer to
our users.
How about an
MRU of 5 (or
10 although
that seems
long for the
list) at the
top, followed
by a
small division
line followed
by the
alphabetical
list?

Then if you

can find them
easier.
